Visit the summit

Athens has an illustrious history, with the Acropolis being its highpoint – literally and metaphorically as this hill rises up above the city. A path among olive trees leads to the top, where the world-famous Parthenon is situated. The characteristically Greek neighbourhood of Anafiotika at the foot of the hill features a maze of streets lined with white houses that seem to glow in the bright sunlight. Athens is the ideal destination for a city trip and the perfect starting point for a tour of Greece. Discover it for yourself: book a flight to Athens now!

Enjoy raki and souvlaki

Don’t miss out on the traditional snack of souvlaki or gyros pita with a glass of ouzo – a treat that’s almost as essential as a visit to one of the many temples in the city. Athens features hundreds of restaurants, many of which specialise in Greek cuisine. The ultimate place for a romantic dinner is the restaurant on top of Mount Lycabettus. You can enjoy delicious dishes here, with breathtaking views of the city.
